Dune Awakening LaunchThe Dune: Awakening Accolades Trailer is Here! Join RUIN on the Wrath PVP server, Sietch Hajar!Greetings Sleepers, Let us be frank (sincere, not Herbert) – the team was a little tense when Dune: Awakening launched. Six years of work and passion culminating in a single day will naturally do that to a person. But, Bless the Maker, the reception has been incredible, and we couldn’t be more excited for the future of the game – we have so much planned – and we’ll get into that when we can. We recently released a shorter reception video, but here is the real deal. Join us in celebrating the critical reception by watching our Accolades trailer!
Your support has been amazing, through bug reports, feedback, and simply playing the game. Dune: Awakening is our fastest-selling game ever and has consistently remained among the most played games on Steam since launch, beating its peak concurrent players record three times in the first weekend, reaching over 189,000. Thank you all. A message from the Creative Director on PvE and PVP I wanted to write something that acknowledges and addresses the comments around the endgame of Dune: Awakening, while also providing context for what we were attempting. Seek the shade, Sleepers “Dune: Awakening has impressed me at every turn.” “Superb survival gameplay” “… so absorbed in playing it that I skipped meals.” “One of the most impressive online survival games ever made.” “Dune: Awakening is stunning.” “Dune: Awakening proved that it is possible to deliver a polished massive multiplayer experience with varied gameplay systems in 2025, and one of the best at that.” “Dune: Awakening succeeds in transferring the essence of the Dune universe to a multiplayer survival genre with a depth rarely seen.” “The Best Way to Experience Arrakis” 1,000,000,000 players Awakened!
Dune: Awakening launched June 10th and 1,000,000 players have awakened! It’s now Funcom’s fastest selling game ever. To put it into perspective, it took Conan Exiles one year to reach this number. We’re truly humbled and thankful for this reception. It must also be noted that you certainly don’t live up to your title, because you have been busy since launch. Launch has been a Coriolis storm, and we’re still riding that mighty gale. We have seen so many amazing things from all of you – the bases, the close calls with Shai-Hulud, the epic vehicle jumps, the struggles, discoveries, victories, heroic deaths, and so much more… Today we commemorate these Deeds and Deaths in this infographic. We salute you, Sleepers.
